We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…

We study recurrence, and multiple recurrence, properties along the $k$-th powers of a given set of integers. We show that the property of recurrence for some given values of $k$ does not give any constraint on the recurrence for the other…

We study orthogonal polynomials with periodically modulated recurrence coefficients when $0$ lies on the hard edge of the spectrum of the corresponding periodic Jacobi matrix. In particular, we show that their orthogonality measure is…

We prove polynomial upper bounds of geometric Ramsey numbers of pathwidth-2 outerplanar triangulations in both convex and general cases. We also prove that the geometric Ramsey numbers of the ladder graph on $2n$ vertices are bounded by…

Divisibility of trinomials by given polynomials over finite fields has been studied and used to construct orthogonal arrays in recent literature. Dewar et al.\ (Des.\ Codes Cryptogr.\ 45:1-17, 2007) studied the division of trinomials by a…

Let $f_1,\cdots,f_r\in k[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ be homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$. Ananyan and Hochster (2016) proved that there exists a bound $N=N(r,d)$ where if collective strength of $f_1,\cdots,f_r\geq N$, then $f_1,\cdots,f_r$ are…

We introduce a construction and an algorithm, both based on Topological Data Analysis (TDA), to tackle the problem of the isomorphism check of Orthogonal Arrays (OAs). Specifically, we associate to any binary OA a persistence diagram, one…

We prove that $\det A\leq 6^\frac{n}{6}$ whenever $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ contains at most $2n$ ones. We also prove an upper bound on the determinant of matrices with the $k$-consecutive ones property, a generalisation of the consecutive…

The poset of permutations of [n] under Bruhat ordering is studied. We give nontrivial upper and lower bounds for the number of comparable pairs of permutations in both the weak and strong versions of this order. In light of numerical…

Parikh matrices have been extensively investigated due to their usefulness in studying subword occurrences in words. Due to the dependency of Parikh matrices on the ordering of the alphabet, strong M-equivalence was proposed as an…

Kahn and Kim (J. Comput. Sci., 1995) have shown that for a finite poset $P$, the entropy of the incomparability graph of $P$ (normalized by multiplying by the order of $P$) and the base-$2$ logarithm of the number of linear extensions of…

If $x$ is a non-empty string then the repetition $xx$ is called a tandem repeat. Similarly, a tandem in a two dimensional array $X$ is a configuration consisting of a same primitive block $W$ that touch each other with one side or corner.…

In this paper, we relate the problem of generating all 2-level orthogonal arrays of given dimension and force, i.e. elements in OA$(n,m)$, where $n$ is the number of factors and $m$ the force, to the solution of an Integer Programming…

We define a triangular array closely related to Stern's diatomic array and show that for a fixed integer $r\geq 1$, the sum $u_r(n)$ of the $r$th powers of the entries in row $n$ satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. The…

A covering array $\rm{CA}(N;t,k,v)$ of strength $t$ is an $N \times k$ array of symbols from an alphabet of size $v$ such that in every $N \times t$ subarray, every $t$-tuple occurs in at least one row. A covering array is \emph{optimal} if…

We introduce a relaxation of the notion of tensor rank, called s-rank, and show that upper bounds on the s-rank of the matrix multiplication tensor imply upper bounds on the ordinary rank. In particular, if the "s-rank exponent of matrix…

A two-dimensional string is simply a two-dimensional array. We continue the study of the combinatorial properties of repetitions in such strings over the binary alphabet, namely the number of distinct tandems, distinct quartics, and runs.…

We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that $N$ planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have $O(N^{3/2})$ joints, where a joint is a point contained in a triple of these planes not…

In this paper, we construct three binary linear codes $C(SO^+(2,q))$, $C(O^+(2,q))$, $C(SO^+(4,q))$, respectively associated with the orthogonal groups $SO^+(2,q)$, $O^+(2,q)$, $SO^+(4,q)$, with $q$ powers of two. Then we obtain recursive…

We establish new bounds on the number of tangencies and orthogonal intersections determined by an arrangement of curves. First, given a set of $n$ algebraic plane curves, we show that there are $O(n^{3/2})$ points where two or more curves…
